This moment makes clear the consequences of politicizing decisions about mifepristone, a medication the FDA has approved as safe and effective for more than two decades. We urge the full Court to maintain access permanently and to ensure decisions about reproductive health care remain rooted in science and evidence-based medicine.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n###<\/span>\r\n

By supporting state policy change, RFA has helped equip governors with the tools to protect and expand access to reproductive health care, defend the rights of patients and providers, and advance state policies to safeguard reproductive freedom. RFA is supported by\u202fGovAct, a nonpartisan nonprofit initiative that helps governors work across state lines to champion fundamental freedoms and improve people\u2019s lives.\u202f\u00a0<\/span>","content_columns":null,"":null,"settings":""}}]},"yoast_head":"\nGovernors React to Supreme Court Ruling on Mifepristone -
